All of these sheets have some interesting sections. I'd say the third sheet from the top is weaker than the rest, so go with one of the others....
ReplyDeleteYour 'tactile' / 'assert' combination on the first sheet is good in that the openings from the top gallery and the bottom gallery acknowledge eachother, while the rooms remain completely independent.
Your 'joint' / 'falling' combination and 'joint' / 'appendage' combination are both good, although you could exaggerate 'falling' a little more. The fact that it's underground makes it the less obvious choice of studio for the word, but it'll be a challenge to illustrate 'falling' when the space is completely encased in earth.
You have definitely departed from the drawings you were doing in class and I think you could make great models with many of these.
Hi Margaret, I've thought of something else.
ReplyDeleteLook at the section at the very bottom. If your word is 'joint' and your studio is supported on a pole, you really have to articulate the joint between the pole and the studio (is it rigid? does it pivot? Look at some joints and make this joint a big deal). There's another joint where the pole meets the ground. Is there a stump, or some kind of anchor? Can the bottom studio BE the anchor, and the top studio be the appentage of the bottom studio? (I'd kindof prefer you to use 'falling' or 'assert' for one of the words, though, because 'joint' and 'appendage' are both quite easy. But you could be clever here and make the words very integrated.)
